IFWG is very pleased to announce the world-wide release of Matt Harry‘s post-apocalyptic/detective noir novel, Ash Land. The magnificent cover was created by Juliane Crump.

“IFWG doesn’t get a lot of quality science fiction cross our desk,” said Gerry Huntman, Managing Director IFWG Publishing, “but our team gets a real thrill when a gem pops up. Ash Land by Harry is certainly one of them. What attracts us the most about the title is its seamless cross-genre (and cross-sub genre) storyline and style, blending strong science fiction with a post-apocalyptic setting, but drilling down to the humanity with a detective story of high caliber. We are proud to have published this work and we would highly recommend that you read it for yourself.”

No one knows how to destroy the Ash.

Two years ago, the flesh-eating microbots escaped from a lab in France and quickly spread across the globe. Twenty percent of humanity was killed in under a month. The people who managed to seal themselves inside survived, but now they’re only able to access the outside world through remote-controlled drones or hazmat suits.

Kai Braddock is one of those survivors. He used to be a cop, but the machine plague and a bitter divorce led to him quitting the department. Now he tracks down bounties via drone, eats cricket burgers with his two sons online, and spends every waking hour in a 70 square-foot studio in downtown Los Angeles. But when his partner is murdered while helping him locate a missing scientist, Braddock realizes he’ll have to do what almost no one has done in over twenty-six months:

He’ll have to go outside.

The official book launch will be held at Mysterious Galaxy Book Shop in San Diego on the 5th May 2026, with a discussion between Matt Harry and Jonathan Maberry. CLICK HERE if you are interested in attending.
